Daryn was about to say something to Astara, but before he could, he heard someone yell out "Hey, I'm fine with having more hot babes around, but I don't want to be one of 'em."
Astara turned and glared at the girl in the tube top and hot pants. "Who do you think you are that you can just speak to me without my permission?"
"Mitch Davidson," the girl said. Daryn knew that name. Mitch was a jock and a notorious womanizer.
It looked as if Astara was going to make another anger-fueled change, so Daryn spoke up. Maybe it was a bad decision, but he felt that he had to do something. "Astara, stop! Don't you think things are changed enough? I mean, Mitch is right. All the boys may look like girls now, but we still remember being boys. Wouldn't it be better if you changed us back?"
"How dare you tell me what to do, mortal," Astara said. "Just because you're the one who summoned me, it doesn't mean you can order me around." At that statement, everyone in the hall turned and looked at Daryn, anger in most of their eyes, now that they knew that he was the reason that Astara was there. "However," the succubus said. "You and the other one make a good point. It would be difficult for you and all the other former boys to live as girls when you know nothing of that existence."
"So, you'll change us back?" Daryn asked, feeling hope for the first time.
"Of course not, fool. I'll do something better."
Daryn's heart fell at her words. What exactly did she have in mind?
Once again, she clapped her hands together and blue sparks flew out and hit all of the boys-turned-girls, including Daryn.
"There. It is done," Astara stated, looking pleased with herself.
Darcy looked down at herself. What was done? She didn't look any different than a few seconds ago. Michelle Davidson also looked down at herself and she couldn't see anything different either. What was that crazy demon woman talking about?
"Richard, are you okay? What did Astara do to you?" a girl (who was already a girl) asked the girl next to her, who she knew had been a boy named Richard a few minutes ago.
"Richard? Who's Richard?" the girl asked back. "I'm Rachel. Remember?"
And it was the same for all of the boys-turned-girls. They all thought that they were supposed to be girls. The only ones who knew the truth were the girls who were already girls and, of course, Astara.
